SUMMER SCHOOL SALARIES
The Faculty Welfare Committee urges the Senate to adopt the
following statement on university policy for inclusion in
the Faculty Handbook:
The principle is hereby affirmed that in the calculation
of summer school salary payments for instructional
services, the pay should be proportionate to that in
effect during the regular session, except that part-time
instructors and others hired specifically for the Summer
session may be paid at a per semester hour rate.
Rationale:
The Faculty Welfare Committee believes that by establishing this
principle, the administration will have continuing encouragement
to improve summer salaries for the faculty, and that by
converting from our present system to one linked with the
regular pay, continuing salary adjustments will prevent UNCA
from occupying the low pay scale that has characterized Summer
compensation for so many years.
The Faculty Welfare Committee does not suggest what constitutes
"proportionate pay." Such determination will need to be
carefully studied by faculty and appropriate administrative
officers. The scale should be reviewed on a regular basis by
the appropriate administrative officers and by the Faculty
Welfare Committee with the intent of insuring that salaries are
maximized whenever possible.
